Nature of the formats in relation to its genre and the will of the author
The Festival respects the original format of the author and his will to choose between his window of natural exhibition or another different one. So a video clip can become a cinematographic musical if the author expresses this. Likewise a series can become a cinematographic work if the author wants to change the window, even if only for the Festival.
DOCUMENTARY If the author considers it cinematographic, it will be shown in the cinema in DCP format. If the author did not design it for a cinematographic room, the House of Culture will be shown in digital.
SERIES is a genre that is targeted by TV (Internet, Platform, etc.) and we do not consider it as cinematographic. If the author states otherwise, he may reconsider.
MÚSIC FILM and EXP ART FILM are often targeted on the Internet or TV, but can also be conceived in film format, due to their genuine cinematographic features and the will of the same author.
